I am on the bus, but the 190 rates are horrible. I feel guilty looking these guys in the face is the only way I can really explain it, its just not right. I have had quite a few buddies ask if they should come to JB out of the Air Force and I have told them don't waste their time. If your a Major or Ltc coming out of the military to JB it's going to look and feel like welfare, which is pretty sad. What is more sad is that our company after years and years of knowing the pay is bad continues to talk about "we are looking into these issues." Talk, talk and more talk.

IMHO, no airline pilot should be making less than 6 figures a year after 4 years of service. Maybe my expectations are too high, but right is right and this company has told us through it's actions that we are not worth it. 190 guys making 58 dollars an hour after 4 years? Talk about nauseating.
